It is a "Temp." filling. The material used isn't meant to stay forever. Sometimes due to the amount of or lack of tooth structure, a temporary filling will come out. Other times the material just didn't set fully before you used it for normal function and this also will cause the temp filling material to come out.

All this aside...I work in a dental office as an assistant, and I have NEVER recommended a patient use super glue in there mouth for any reason. You aren't supposed to breath that stuff in more or less put it in your mouth!

My advise to you is call your dentist and let them know that its is out. they may just get you back in and replace the filling. If you can not see your dentist immediately you may also purchase a temp filling material thats sold in the drug store. You can find it in the oral heath section.

The adhesive on a temporary filling is designed to not be strong. That way the dentist can easily pull it back out. Amazingly you can use super glue to put it back in. This won't cause any other problems. If it was a permanent filling you would need to go back to the dentist and have him fix it.

No not normal they did something wrong tell them they need to add mor glue or something
